The NSRL For Hackers
A short article I wrote for 2600 - The Hacker Quarterly. It is about the National Software Reference Library and what they and you can do with it. 2600 is going through tough times right now and I would appreciate it very much if you would buy the magazine, https://store.2600.com/collections/pdf-downloads The NSRL For Hackers First published in 2600, 37:3 The National Software Reference Library (NSRL) is something you probably never heard of, although it is one of the largest software collections in the world.
pacaudit discontinued
Pacaudit had a bug that could cause wrong results to be displayed. Since the tool was intended to serve security and I have no time to fix it, I discontinued it and deleted the AUR. The Github repo is archived. Please use arch-audit from the comunity repo.
Sao Tome - Cemetery Of Lost Images
Roaming around the web and Google maps in the Covid-19-lockdown I noticed there is a special place west of Sao Tome. There are a lot of pictures in the Gulf of Guniea, in the triangle of Sao Tome, St. Helena and Ascension. These pictures don’t belong there.

pacaudit - v.1.1.2
pacaudit v1.1.2 was released, install it via trizen or any other AUR pkg manager and read the man page. trizen -S pacaudit man pacaudit pacaudit has a alpm-hook (since v1.1.1), so you will get a warning if you try to install a vulnerable package. v1.1.2 checks if security.archlinux.org is up and running. If not a message is shown and pacaudit returns without checking local packages. Comments on AUR, github or via email are highly appreciated!
pacaudit - v.1.1.0
pacaudit v1.1.0 is ready, install it via trizen or any other AUR pkg manager and read the man page. trizen -S pacaudit man pacaudit There is the idea that pacaudit could be a pacman hook to warn the user when she tries to install a vulnerable package. If you’d like to help with this task, checkout the issue page on github. Comments on AUR, github or via email are highly appreciated!
